GEORGIA HARMER REVEALS ALT VERSIONS OF ALBUM TRACKS “HEADRUSH” + “HOMES”
DEBUT LP STAY IN TOUCH OUT NOW VIA ARTS & CRAFTS
Georgia Harmer is taking the stage, starting as headliner at Toronto’s Longboat Hall on December 1, before heading to Montreal on December 14 for her last performance of 2022 at Casa Del Popolo. Georgia will then prepare for an 18 date North American tour with The Rural Alberta Advantage beginning February 23. Today, the twenty-two year-old Toronto-based musician is sharing two alternate versions of “Headrush” and “Homes” from her debut album, Stay In Touch, out now via Arts & Crafts.
“It’s been just over a year since ‘Headrush’ came out and started slowly introducing the world to Stay In Touch,” says Harmer. “The songs on the album were written over the course of many years, through many periods of huge growth. These alternate versions take two of the foundational songs on Stay In Touch back to how they sounded when I first wrote them, just words and melodies of emotional processing. Singing them now in this way brings me back to their meaning, and the way it evolves and stays true over time.”
More About Georgia Harmer
With a wisdom and poise that belies her youthful age, Harmer has penned an emotionally resonant collection of songs that articulate the ways in which even the most fleeting experiences can forge bonds between strangers, create families out of friends, and one by one form the joys and sorrows that make up a life. Sonically, Stay In Touch spans everything from intimate folk and strummy country to sophisticated jazz and pop-kissed rock. Harmer and her band created musical landscapes that live up to the lyrical richness of the songs.
Stay In Touch is an unforgettable statement from a new artist with a heartbreakingly simple message: when you stay in touch with the experiences that have shaped you, you stay in touch with yourself. The album is full of romanticism – a rare quality in an irony-soaked culture. For Harmer, this is a record about “staying in touch with the aspects of yourself, your life, the world, that keep you aware of what’s most important. Whether that’s people, relationships, deep feelings, the value of togetherness and support. It’s about finding the balance between holding on and letting go, between the beauty of the world and the pain in the world.”
